The DXI8200 is a 8-channel power amplifier at a compact size of 2 HU (rack spaces). The front panel shows 8 gain controls for easy access, 8 mute-switches and the main switch. The LED display informs about the condition of the amplifiers. The rear side shows 8 input-connectors and 8 output-connectors. The input sensivity (gain) is 32 dB each channel. The outputs offer barrier strip connectors. The DXI8200 can be used also in half-bridged mode (2 x 400 watts plus 4 x 200 watts RMS / 4 ohms). The DXI8200 can be switched into three different operation modes: stereo, parallel and bridge mode. The independent limiters can be switched on or off. The amplifier is equipped with a switch-on delay to protect the connected speakers.

Safety circuitsThe comprehensive package of safety circuits protects the connected speakers and periphery in case of trouble. All NOVA amplifiers are equipped with following safety circuits:

► Short circuit protectionA short cicuit in a speaker or cable could destroy the transistors of an amplfier. All NOVA amplifiers are equipped with a short circuit protection. This protects the amplifier from those damages.

► Overheating protectionAll NOVA ampifiers are equipped with sensors at the transistors and transformers. Because of permanent monitoring of temperature the built-in fans make sure of sufficient cooling.

► HF protectionExtremely high frequencies could destroy the voice coils of the connected loudspeakers. All NOVA amplifiers are equipped with HF protection circuits and filters.

► DC protectionDC (direct current) at amplifiers output could destroy the voice coils of connected loudspeakers. All NOVA amplifiers are equipped with DC protection circuits, which avoid DC at the outputs of the amplifiers.
